c: Use the sample function to create a vector with variable name my.dna that consists of 20 uniformly-random letters “A”, “C”, “G”, and “T”. c) Use the sample function to create a vector with variable name my.dna that consists of 20 uniformly-random letters “A”, “C”, “G”, and “T”.
d: Use the == logic operator and other R functions on your my.dna variable to determine how many of the letters are “A”. Hint: you can use sum on a TRUE/FALSE vector or you can use the functions which and length. d) Use the == logic operator and other R functions on your my.dna variable to determine how many of the letters are “A”.
